A Spooky read, indeed! May 10, 2008
A fun collection of spooky folktales retold by the author. The book has some really freaky stories like One Last Head and the Devil's Coach. There are also funny/spooky combination stories like Sam meets Death, in which a practical joke goes wrong, and Followed Me Home, in which a ghost takes a shine to a pretty lady at his funeral and moves into her house!
A story that I personally found thought-provoking was The Staircase, in which we see what happens to a serial killer when he finds himself climbing an endless staircase following his death.
A fun read. Great for campfires or for a relaxing read on the beach.
A highly entertaining book September 11, 2007

All the stories in this book are very interesting. It is hard to pick a favorite. I really enjoyed the story entitled "Paul Bunyan and the Witch". This is a really good Paul Bunyan story that I had not heard before. This story by itself is worth the price of the book. The "Nain Rouge" in it's story line mention's a man named "Cadillac," according to the story seeing the Nain Rouge brings bad luck. "The Devil's Coach" is an exciting read about a farmer and two black horses that he purchases. "The Green Lantern" is a story about sailors in a storm on Lake Michigan being rescued by a strange light. There are a number of other stories that are equally well told. Once I started reading this book I found it hard to put down, even the last story a tounge in cheek tale called "Sam Meets Death" was quite interesting with an unusual twist. I recommend this book to anyone interested in folklore.
